Around a year ago was a very difficult time for my wife and I due to health concerns. I wrote "Alone and Ruinous" during that time. Thankfully, things are nothing like they were a year ago, and I hope they stay that way. Much of this poem was created while in the cemetery I frequently walk and run through near our home. http://www.postpoems.org/authors/adamkmcalwain/poem/1038434
